We all feel it. Climate change is accelerating at a pace faster than almost anyone anticipated. We can do something about it, but it means talking about, and taking on, capitalism. Please join Paul and Lara Messersmith-Glavin for a public lecture followed by a discussion about how to organize against climate catastrophe. Lara and Paul are members of the Institute for Anarchist Studies and the Perspectives on Anarchist Theory collective, and community organizers with the Hella 503 Collective based in Portland, Oregon.

This event is co-sponsored by the Seattle Solidarity Network and the Institute for Anarchist Studies.

About the IAS

The Institute for Anarchist Studies (IAS), a nonprofit foundation established in 1996 to support the development of anarchism, is a grant-giving organization for radical writers and translators worldwide. To date, we have funded some ninety projects by authors from countries around the world, including Argentina, Lebanon, Canada, Chile, Ireland, Nigeria, Germany, South Africa, and the United States. Equally important, we publish the Anarchist Interventions book series in collaboration with AK Press and Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, the online journal Perspectives on Anarchist Theory, and the new Lexicon pamphlet series as well as organize the Renewing the Anarchist Tradition conference and offer the Mutual Aid Speakers List. The IAS is part of a larger movement to radically transform society as well. We are internally democratic and work in solidarity with people around the globe who share our values.
